AVX Issues / Game Launches, then Crashes on Older Processors (CPU)

dont make up maintenance and dates. miss information

It is what I see in my Bnet app, there is a programmed maintenance on 5th Oct, from 2:00 to 9:00 (CEST)

Where is the Blue Post with an update? WTB daily updates!

the post number 5141

Will this be fixed or not ? i was waiting to ask for a refund for them to patch. Will this happen ?

I think they were unaware that AVX support was required.

It seems likely that they starting utilizing certain Nvidia APIs, unaware that these were relying on AVX to function.

It was just ā€œanother few daysā€ remember, after the maybe today or tomorrow, or maybe monday. Donā€™t want to effect existing players right? BUT WE ARE EXISTING CUSTOMERS! WE ARE EXISTING PLAYERS OF YOUR D2 FRANCHISE? Fix it for everyone and stop being ambiguous with your radar of issues that we clearly arenā€™t a priority in. You think 80k views on this tech forum issue would make someoneā€™s blood boil over there at blizz?

Only needed to spend an extra $800 for our $40 20 year old remaster because their min spec are outlandish.

Is the elephant in the room that people with old cpus are too poor and old to matter to Blizzard?

i hope they will at least get us updated about if they can fix or not soon. If i canā€™t play this week end iā€™ll refund and if i donā€™t have any update about it i will probably just not buy blizzard game in the futur. I did this to other company i can do it for more.

Bulk of D2 clientele are mostly older than average pc gamers, Amazing they wouldnā€™t put that into account. But yeah thats true, Most peoples Intel i7 older gens can probably run most games on max settings. But not this 20 year old game.

I ran it on max setting in Beta with the non avx engine. I am grumpy I have not got to play this week. I have refunded. I will of course upgrade and re-buy for the ladderā€¦just frustrated with what seemed like a bait and switch.
